Abstract:
Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder involving digestive, renal, respiratory, and nervous systems caused by SLC7A7 gene mutation.It was first reported in Finland and now has been found worldwide.A total of 8 cases have been reported in China.The abnormal function of the y + amino acid transporter caused by SLC7A7 gene mutation can explain some clinical features, but the pathophysiological mechanism underlying the associated lung, kidney and blood system disorders is not clear.The varying clinical manifestations of LPI often lead to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of LPI, to enhance clinicians′ understanding of this disease.
